I'm going to review records in my collection, and you'll be able to decide if they're worthy of your collection. These records are what I consider "must haves" for any jazz aficionado, and would be found in their collections. I wont review any record that's not on CD, nor will I review any record if the CD is markedly inferior. Fortunately, I only found 1 case where the CD was markedly inferior to the record.
Our first album is "Moanin" by Art Blakey and The Jazz Messengers. We have Lee Morgan , trumpet; Benney Golson, tenor sax; Bobby Timmons, piano; Jymie merrit, bass; Art Blakey, drums.
The title tune "Moanin" is by Bobby Timmons, it conveys the emotion of the title like no other tune I've ever heard, even better than any words could ever convey. This music pictures a person whose down to his last nickel, and all he can do is "moan".
"Along Came Betty" is a tune by Benny Golson, it reminds me of a Betty I once knew. She was gorgeous with a jazzy personality, and she moved smooth and easy, just like this tune. Somebody find me a time machine! Maybe you knew a Betty.
While the rest of the music is just fine, those are my favorite tunes. Why don't you share your, "must have" jazz albums with us.
Enjoy the music.

Brilliant, acman3! That’s it! Impressive. Rok, ok, Geller....maybe; although he has been discussed here and is pretty well known. I’ll give you that one. But, Frank Wess, Jimmy Heath??? Who the hell are they?!?!?! I hope I’m misinterpreting your comment 😎 Btw, it’s tenor, alto, baritone, tenor, alto; per acman3’s answer. Thanks for playing. |
Herb Geller: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xSSpQqEcM3k Frank Wess: Long time member of Basie’s band. One of the great tenor stylists; bridging the gap between the swing and the hard bop tenor players. Great tenor sound! Also one of the pioneers of jazz flute. Check out his solo on this, one of my favorite Sarah Vaughn recordings. Talk about telling a story! Luscious sound. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=a3zYhiiP_CU https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=yEHy_5iEzEU Jimmy Heath: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rbufxZe8550 |
